On May 15, 2025, Embrace Your Mind: A Mental Health Guide for Young People was officially launched in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Youth Development. The launch marked a significant milestone in Nigeria’s national effort to raise mental health awareness among young people.

Developed by the Mental Health for Youth Initiative (MHYI), the guide is a timely and inclusive resource designed to educate, empower, and support young Africans in navigating mental health challenges. With plans to convert the guide into Braille, audio, animations, and local languages, it promises to be accessible to all.

The launch also signaled the beginning of a nationwide mental health campaign, with outreach programs, school distributions, and community engagements planned in collaboration with key ministries and stakeholders.

This is just the beginning and we are calling on partners, donors, and advocates to join us in spreading this vital message across Nigeria and beyond.
